Pneumoperitoneum After Jejunostomy Tube Placement Managed by Needle Decompression: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Percutaneous endoscopic feeding tube placement is a commonly performed procedure in patients who cannot take food by mouth. While it is considered a safe and effective method of providing nutritional support, like any medical procedure, it can lead to complications. Feeding tube placement, including percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ), is associated with several complications, including bleeding, site infection, aspiration, buried bumper, tube dislodgement, and pneumoperitoneum. We report a case of a 20-year-old male with multiple medical issues who underwent a PEJ that was complicated by bowel distension. The patient developed tension pneumoperitoneum post-procedure, which was treated with a bedside needle decompression. This case report highlights the significance of promptly recognizing and intervening in complications that may arise during a frequently performed medical procedure, PEJ tube placement, to prevent serious consequences, including bowel ischemia.
